Damon to the Rescue!
Our friend Damon helping out the sailboats that are at the floating dock off the State Fish Pier. One of the boats #13 capsized while practicing near the Paint Factory. The two kids in the boat righted it themselves and climbed aboard all were safe. The Coast Guard was just checking too see if they were all right.

State Fish Pier
Many days you can drive by the State Fish Piere on a beautiful day and the boats will be tied to the pier. 10-15 years ago you never would have seen boats tied up on such beautiful days. The guys would be out fishing.
Between Federal Regulations, and an aging fleet of skippers you see this more and more. We have a handful of great young skippers coming up but it is but a handful. It’s going to be scary in another ten years when the last of the big generation of skippers are retired and the permits that they fish are gobbled up and consolidated. This huge harbor under the current regulations will have great difficulty supporting such a contracted industrial base.

State Fish Pier 3/31/09
Things sure look a whole lot different today than they did in 1980 on Parker street and the State Fish Pier. Check back at 8:00AM for the view in 1980 thanks to pictures made available by Frank Ciolino.

Fish Pier Rumble
If your squeamish about blood, guts, and warfare, don’t venture down to the State Fish Pier when the guys are mending their nets. I witnessed head-butts, slaps, screaming. Two were dead. Eyeballs poked out. The cannibals devoured the innards. And not a cop in sight! Couldn’t show the victims – too gruesome The perpetrators in action….

Paul Frontiero’s Snowy Owl Pic
Paul forwarded a couple pictures of this snowy owl that has been hanging around on the State Fish Pier. Mark Ring had told me about it last week and said that it was probably responsible for the many dead seagulls around town. He says they swoop in and rip out their guts and then leave the rest of the gull behind (I guess there’s not much fun in eating feathers)

Princess Laura Slime Eel Operation To Cease
The packing table has been pulled out and dismantled, and this dumping bin is the next to go. A crew member told me yesterday that they will be ceasing operations on the state fish pier because there just wasn’t enough money in it.

Princess Laura Slime Eel Operation To Cease
Here you see the boys dismantling the slime eel packing table that was operating on the state fish pier. When I asked why they were shutting it down they told me it just wasn’t paying. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. A huge amount of effort was put forth to try to make a go of it.
At least I got to document it while it was operating. I know, I know, you all will be supremely disappointed that there will be no more slime eel pictures on these pages.
